：Canine and Feline Septicemia - Clinical Symptoms of Canine and Feline Septicemia

Septicemia is a systemic pathological process caused by the organism absorbing pathogenic bacteria and the products of their life activities and tissue decomposition products from local infected foci. There are systemic infections caused by purulent pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus hemolyticus, Escherichia coli, anaerobic bacteria and putrefactive bacteria, which cause abscesses, cellulitis and other purulent foci. Septicemia can also be caused by extensive burns, urinary tract infections, uterine infections, peritonitis and certain infectious diseases.

Clinically, it is divided into toxemia and pyemia. Toxemia is caused by toxins produced by pathogenic bacteria or pathological decomposition products of tissues being absorbed into the bloodstream. Pyemia is caused by bacterial emboli or infected thrombi entering the bloodstream.
Toxemia: The clinical manifestations are extremely depressed spirit, staggering gait, lying down, continuous elevated body temperature with a short intermittent period. Only before death does the body temperature drop. Loss of appetite, difficult breathing, fast and weak heartbeat. Sometimes there are petechiae and yellowish conjunctiva. Pyemia: Bacterial emboli or infected thrombi enter the bloodstream and various tissues and organs. Under suitable conditions, bacteria grow and reproduce, produce a large amount of toxins, and form metastatic abscesses in these tissues and organs, destroying the functions of local tissues or organs and presenting systemic symptoms.
